I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

You can't just explain a joke. Either it isn't funny, or the person just totally missed the punchline.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I don't think anyone knows anything and I don't trust people who say that they do. Don't give me a plan, give me action.

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, "It makes me think." I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.

I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
